Intake bolts and exhaust studs, just regular pipe thread sealer.
Intake bolts may suck oil through threads to intake ports from the pushrod pass through area.
Exhaust studs are through to waterjacket ( reason header bolts don't work on a BB)

wow that's the best "assembly" video I've seen in a long time. I rebuilt my first engine back in the early 60's and from what I've learned from that film, I broke or ignored a lot of rules. No wonder it came to an untimely death!

Good videos by that guy, helpful but did I miss the cam chain and gears going on to get the timing?
